BC billionaire Hudson’s wishes of Bay Pattas say that the concerns of the landlord are ‘misguided’
A BC billionaire who wants to buy Hudson’s bay pattas says that the landlord claims that he will not be able to run a successful business in his vacancy “misguided”.
In the new court documents filed overnight on Wednesday, Ruby Liu says that he is ready to do what he needs to make his enterprise successful and, if it gives more confidence to the landlords more confidently in his plan, then individually will guarantee the first year of rent, he will have to pay them.
He said, “I wouldn’t have done this process, at that time and many million dollars that I have to do till date, are committed to moving a lot of assets, and moved forward despite the objections of the landlords, if I was not fully prepared to fund this venture,” she said in a affidavit.
“I have no intention of investing $ 400 million in a business and then it has failed after such important expenses.”
Liu wants to buy 25 pre -bay leases and bought three other people to bend, which she bought in BC Mall – she is in a new department store with Tsavavasen Mills, Mefair Shopping Center and Woodgrove Center – Entertainment, Food and Entertainment places.
Zamindars, including Cadilac Fairview, Oxford Properties and Ivano Cambridge, have said that their leases do not allow such uses and even if they did, Liu’s deadline and budget are very “unrealistic”, which requires the amount of work and repairing their properties.
A judge will hear arguments on whether the landlords should be forced to move Liu in late August.
Target to open 20 stores in 180 days
Liu has said that she thinks that she can open at least 20 stores within 180 days of receiving the leases. Some of its estimates suggest that it will spend $ 120 million on repair of roofs, HVAC systems, washrooms, lifts and escalators. Zamindars believe that a lot of money will be required for renewal.
Liu disagree. While she believes that many places will require changes in their roofs, roofs, lights and more, she says that “some work is only cosmetic and not everything needs to be taken to bare walls.”
“For many shops, minimal renewal is required,” he said.
In his own affidavit, Bay Liyu favor, indicating that he was working in the spaces that were required to underline landlords without any renewal.
While some repair landlords have been identified, they were previously discussed with bay, as a result of failure to deal with them, a landlord was provided with the default to the retailer at any time, Franco Perugini said, Bay’s senior vice -president of Bay, real estate and legal.
He said, “Therefore, it is surprising for me that by reading the objections of objectionable landlords, it has been claimed that (Ruby) will be inadequate in investing $ 120 million and renewal of their stores would be insufficient, when it would be more than any amount, which planned to invest the Gulf of Hudson,” he said.
11 companies are ready to work with Liu: letters
If her budget becomes inadequate, Liu says that she will fund additional work and detect staged renewal that allows some parts of a store to open to trade soon, while other parts of the store are repaired.
He also used his affidavit to compete with the landlord’s claim that he does not have suppliers who are ready to give goods in their stores. Liu said that she has discussed with suppliers, even though she could not finalize the goods agreements with them until she knows whether a court would lease her.
Billionaire Ruby Liu has officially captured three leases of former Hudson Bay Store properties and is promising to shake the Canadian retail location. But as Mitchell Ghobo reports, not everyone is buying what she says she will be able to sell.
He provided letters of 11 companies to the court, saying that he was ready to work with him. The most prominent senders were Hair Tools Maker Conyer, female apparel retailer Northern Reflexes and Indeka Group, which imports Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Docks clothing.
“Many of the above possible suppliers have indicated that they have inventory in the warehouses in Ontario and/or Quebec, some of which were ordered earlier, but were not claimed by the Gulf, and would be able to fill the orders within weeks when needed,” Liu said.
He also added a letter from Mimran Group Inc., whose names Joe Joe and Saul Club Monaco and Lobla Cos Limited were behind Joe Fresh.
A letter from Executive Vice President Jordan Mimran picked Liu on the occasion of obtaining a trademark and other intellectual property related to Canadian fashion brand Alfred Sung.
“I believe this strategic alliance can bring immediate substance and reliability for your new Gulf change – both in court and with Canadian consumers,” Jordan says in a letter.
Bay’s Perugini deployed landlords as an attempt to exempt such efforts from Liu as if they get back their leases, they will be “spending too much latitude to pursue the projects, including mixed-utilization development, new retail concepts, or even residential towers.”

The Cadilac Fairview is also planned to redevelop the Markville Mall in Markham, Onts, as well as Fairview Mall in Toronto, while Morgard wants to convert the Centerpoint Mall in Toronto to a transit-original community with residential, commercial, open spaces and community uses.
“In many examples, the elimination of Hudson’s bay pattas will be able to fully feel the value of their properties, especially in terms of revenue creation,” said Perugini.
